Development Progress of Surfactants for Chemical Combination Flooding
Advanced Materials Research, 2012Chemical combination flooding is one of the main enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques in China. The key factor of a successful chemical combination flooding application is the development of oil displacement surfactants with good performance. In this paper, the basic requirements of surfactant for chemical combination flooding were introduced, and ...

Recent progress in flood management in China
Irrigation and Drainage, 2006“From flood control to flood management” is a significant milestone and inevitable trend for the adjustment of water management strategies in rapidly developing China. Flood control practices on a large scale, after the 1998 floods, indicate that neither a conventional method of flood control nor a simple copying of advanced experiences in other ...

Progress in Flood Risk Assessment at Regional Scale
2013 Fourth International Conference on Digital Manufacturing & Automation, 2013Global climate changes and human activities have a profound impact on disaster environment and formation mechanism of waterlogging disaster, exacerbating the uncertainty of waterlogging disaster and highlighting complexity and difficulty coping with the water disasters of farmland. A large number of researches on risk assessment and prediction of flood

Progress in natural flood retention at the Bavarian Danube
Natural Hazards, 2014The public generally expects restoring natural flood retention as an effective flood mitigation measure, given that river regulation or losses of natural retention storage space through human intervention of nature are often perceived as the cause of recent disastrous floodings.

Recent Progress in Surfactant Flooding in Carbonate Reservoirs
Proceedings, 2013Surfactant Polymer (SP) flooding in carbonate reservoirs is still considered as a considerable challenge today. Indeed, adsorption of anionic surfactants onto carbonate rocks is known to be much higher than onto sandstone rocks. This limits drastically the efficiency of the process.

Flood Frequency and Design Flood Estimation Procedures in the United States: Progress and Challenges
Australasian Journal of Water Resources, 2011Design flood estimation procedures in the United States have traditionally focused on two primary methods: frequency analysis of peak flows for floodplain management and levee design; and deterministic, probable maximum flood (PMF) estimates for design of dams and nuclear facilities.

On the Transient and Progressive Flooding Stages of Damaged RO-RO Vessels
Volume 4: Ocean Engineering; Ocean Renewable Energy; Ocean Space Utilization, Parts A and B, 2009Roll-On/Roll-Off vessels appear to be sensitive to rapid capsizing due to abrupt ingress of water caused by maritime accidents. As a result of the damage creation, the flooded ship can experience intermediate stages which might be more devastating than the final condition, as the sudden loading could significantly alter the ship stability ...

PROGRESS OF HEALTH WORK IN THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD AREA
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1928The advancement of organized health work in the United States has been largely accelerated by the appearance of widespread epidemics of communicable disease and the occurrence of national calamities, such as that which visited the Mississippi Valley in the spring of 1927.

The progressive lag of sediment concentration with flood waves
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1956Numerous investigations of suspended‐sediment discharge have shown that an increase in stream flow usually is accompanied by an increase in sediment concentration. The sediment‐concentration peak during a rise may precede, coincide with, or follow the water‐discharge peak.
